FILLING-MACHINE FOR DOUGHY AND POWDERY MATERIAL.

To all whomz'tmay concern: Y

Be it known that I, Hueo OTTO SoHIL- LING, a subject of Germany, residing at Hamburg, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Filling- Machine for. Doughy and Powdery Material, of which the following is a specification. w

This invention relates to a filling machine for powdery and doughy material, such as cream, dentrifices, paste, and the like, the object of the invention being to provide a machine of this description, by which the material can be separated into predetermined quantities and pressed into receptacles, such as tubes and the like. The machine comprises a cylindrical casing, afilling hopper and a rotatable and radially movable dividing-off and expelling slide or In order to predetermine the amount of the charge at will according to the present invention, the filling hopper is V arranged adjustably on the said casing.

In the drawing in which a' tube-fillingmachine is shown by way of example Figure 1 is a vertical section drawn to the line11, Fig. 2,

Fig. 2 a section drawn to of Fig. 1, i

Fig.3 is a section drawnto'the' line 33 of Flg. '1, I

Fig. 4' is a front view..of the machine, partly in section, and

Fig. 5 is a side view.

The casing has a cylindrical the line shape and consists of two stationary side framesa and two intermediate cylindrical Vmembers a and a In the sides a is j ournaled ashaft 6 adapted to-be driven by a-suitable gearing 72 and 'carryinga cylinder or disk 0,

which snugly fits in' between: the sides a and 5 the members a and a and which is pr0- vided with a radial slot 03 within which a slide .or piston e is mounted. The piston e is provided with lateral; studs 7, which proconcentrica 1y embrace the circular disk 0,

.a reciprocation of the slide 6 in such manner that when passing the lower part of its rotation, the slide 6 is fully retracted into its slot cl, while in the upperpart of'rotation the slide 6' projects outward into the chamber it, thus forcing any material which might have been filled into the chamber h to one side.

On. the casing a hopper 7c is adj ustably arranged which is provided with two tongues or plates 2' and 2' curved to the same radius as the outer surface of the side frames a and held between guidesm. Thus by ad justing the hopper}; the distance between the inner edge 70 of the hopper is and the casing member a can be changed at will, thus predetermining the amount of material that can be caught hold of by the piston 6,

because evidently, when material is filled lnthe hopper 70 until the piston 6 reaches the edge 76 and as soon as this edge is passed the piston 6 will compress the material within the closed part of the chamber h. The casing member a has an outward projecting part it and a channel 0, which forms an outlet for the chamber h. In the construction shown a nozzle or tube p is detachably fastened to the projection n by a plate 9 and bolts 1". Within the projection 02 a perforated slide 8 is arranged to move vertically and is adapted to close the channel 0 before the material within the chamber h is compressed. The slide 8 is rotatably attatched to an arm 25, pivoted to the casing by a stud or shaft to, carrying two members a and,

w On the shaft b'of the disk 0 a disk 12 is attached, carrying a stud or anti-friction roller 12, and by means of two set screws 00, a second disk '0 can be adjustably fastened to the disk 12, slots 20 within the disk 0 allowing of such adjustment. The disk '0 is also provided with a stud or anti-friction roller 12 the member a projecting into the path of the anti-friction roller o and the member if projecting into the path of the anti-friction roller o". On one side,that is to say, next to the disks c and o the easing is provided with a scale 11/, and corresponding to this scale a second scale g is provided on the disk '0 attached to the shaft 6. The hopper carries an index a pointing to the scale 3 ,"and the adjustable disk a" is also provided with an index a pointing to the scale 3 of the disk '0. lVhen the hopper 7c is adjusted to such position asto determine the amount of material to be filled at every charge by the machine, the disk v is -to be adjusted to the same amount, theindices z and 2 being used to ascertain the proper amount to which the disk 0 is to be rotated against the disk 4).

The operation of the machine is as follows A tube which is to be filled is slid over the nozzle 19, and the hopper 7c is adjusted in its position, so that the closed part of the cham her it will correspond in size to the size of the tube to be filled, and before the machine is set in rotation, also the disk 41 is adjusted in such manner that the index 2 points to the'same number on the scale 3 as the index a 2 points to the corresponding number of the scale y. When rotating, the piston 6 will shift the material filled into the hopper 7c and falling into the chamber it toward the casing member (4 that is to say, to the discharge channel 0. When that part of the chamberh which is below the tongue 71 of the hopper,

1 is filled, no further material can enter that part on account of the fact that the slide 8 closes the channel 0. When the piston 6 passes the edge 72 of the hopper lo, the disks 4) and 1) will be rotated to such an extent 1 79 and the receptacle to be filled. lVhen the piston 6 has passed the inlet opening of the channel 0, the anti-friction roller 0 engages 7' the member a causing a downward motion of the slide 8, and thus again shutting the outlet. During the further rotation of the piston e the filled receptacle can be replaced by an empty one, and when the piston'e passes the upper part 'of'its rotation, the operation; described above will be repeated. By adjusting the hopper 7c and the disk e .evidently,'withincertain limits,any desired predetermined amount can be filled.
